Here's Xycore and his family! Xycore's the one in the middle, and his two sons (whom he birthed out from his own body) Shirk (the shadow-like being on the left) and Lax (the Cloud Monster on the right)! Shirk is cool; he has swag and he gains satisfaction and value from/in hanging out with his and Puphf's friends. Lax is intelligent, however he often overlooks things. He loves and cares about those around him––he's like a big teddy bear. Naturally, being as how 'love' and 'affection' (excluding that which is exchanged with his wife, Plumb) disgusts him, Shirk and Lax are forced to spend a lot of time outside of Xycore's castle. They spend a lot of time at Josh's place (puphf's master), and are like two uncles to Puphf. They took him out bowling one time; Puphf giggled mischievously to himself and chucked the bowling balls at people. Since then, they've been cautious of where they've taken him.

Shirk and Lax absolutely love pizza, and always put it first. They're the spearheads of Xycore's army, however have been since let go because they'd always abandon the battlefronts to go get a slice of pizza
